Callie came into the San Bernardino Shelter as a stray. She was terrified and visibly shaking in the kennel. The shelters are so overcrowded, that fear can get you on the euthanasia list. Unfortunately, because Callie's "tail was tucked and she was whale eyed", she was set to be euthanized. Southpaw Rescue pulled her.
Since coming into rescue we realize Callie is one of the sweetest, most inquisitive dogs we have had at Southpaw. She loves to give kisses and cuddle up with everyone. She is gentle with the children who have wanted to meet her, and gently licks their hands.
Callie is good with all of the other dogs her foster home. She loves to play and is usually the more submissive one.
Callie knows sit and walks great on a leash. She doesn't mind going into her kennel when her foster mom needs to work. https://youtu.be/d3d7O2wyGzY
Call is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her shots. Here is a video of her in February when she saw snow for the first time:

Whether a potential adopter meets the dog at an adoption event or sees them online, we need an adoption application to begin the process
2.
Interview
The second step is a phone call so I can tell the adopter all about the dog, and find out more about their lifestyle.
3.
Home Check
The most important step! All members of the house hold need to be there. I check the yard and the home.

Sign Adoption Contract
We let them know we will keep the dog chipped to us and that if they can't keep the dog, he/she comes back to us. Adoption fee is collected
